Xylose Fermentation by Saccharomyces cerevisiae: Challenges and Prospects

Xylose Fermentation by Saccharomyces cerevisiae: Challenges and Prospects

Many years have passed since the first genetically modified Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains capable of fermenting xylose were obtained with the promise of an environmentally sustainable solution for the conversion of the abundant lignocellulosic biomass to ethanol. Several challenges emerged from t...
